Is this true? Hope so, don't have MUTV anymore
FA Youth Cup Final - Utd vs Forest
- Thread starter yamo123x
- Start date
Every single United-team that reached the FA Youth Cup produced several top-flight players (a few examples below from our final-squads after 1980)
1982 - Mark Hughes, Norman Whiteside, Graeme Hogg, Billy Garton, Clayton Blackmore
1986 - Gary Walsh, Tony Gill, Lee Martin,
1992 - a few
1993 - still a few
1995 - Phil Neville. Terry Cooke, Michael Clegg and Ronnie Wallwork
2003 - Phil Bardsley, Paul McShane, Chris Eagles, Kieran Richardson, Tom Heaton
2007 - Danny Welbeck, Danny Drinkwater, Matt James, Ron Robert Zieler, James Chester, Corry Evans
2011 - Sam Johnstone, Jesse Lingard, Ravel Morrison, Paul Pogba, Will Keane, Michael Keane, Tom Lawrence
There are no guarantees in football - but historically speaking at least 5-6 of those who plan next tuesday, will play at the highest level

Looks like it'll be on The FA Player. Not sure about any geo-restriction as that's not specified re: the Youth Cup on their FAQ page.
Think you need to sign up with an account (free) or use the app though.

It always puzzles me why Phil Neville is classified as part of the "Class of '92", he is such a hanger on with the others who were part of that class!
Nearly 60.000 tickets sold now.
What a moment for the lads for both teams.
That’s so cool
what an atmosphere it will be.
Looking forward to it with my 2 lads.

I'm trying to get 3x tickets but the site isn't loading... anyone else struggling?
60k for a youth game, proud of the club and supporters.
Forest are going to win aren't they?
Yah but lets hope the kids don't start getting the jitters with such a large crowd.
That's actually incredible. Well done all involved in this!
I was thinking that but works for both sides I guess. At least our lot have played at OT before including the semi which probably had a bigger crowd than Forest have played in front of… this’ll be ten times that. Can’t wait
Semi was a really good game, entire team played well … Wolves not bad too at times tbf and could have been 5 or 6-2 but United are solid, good work ethic, good mentality, attack at pace. Love Mainoo, could be an absolute star .. was 16 when semi played (17 now) but you’d swear he was a year or two older than everyone else not the other way round.

The only question is whether Bennett/Fredricson will be fit.
I would be concerned if not as they are our best CB pairing at this level by far.
Honestly not much difference about whether Murray or Pye will play. Murray is more vulnerable defensively but has better delivery offensively.
Front 6 picks themselves. Maybe Forson will play ahead of Mather but I doubt it.
We gonna have Oyedele, Hugill, one of Murray/Pye, Forson, Ennis and Norkett on the bench which is some incredible depth. (And Collyer? Not sure how to fit him in)
Funny saying this after everyone complained about how this crop is average after the first 2 games of the season.

In fairness - it looked awful after the first 2 games. And what makes the turnaround more impressive, is that the team that lost 0-5 to Liverpool wasn't that far away from being our strongest side. Garnacho, Fredricson, Vitek, Jurado, Mainoo, Mather and Norkett were all playing
Does anyone know where I can watch this outside of the UK (Germany specifically)?
This Nottingham site mentions a couple of options but don’t know if apply outside Germany.

“Fans will also be able to watch the final both on MUTV and online, either via The FA Player or as part of a Paid Online Event (POE) on Facebook for 99p.”
The FA Player is an app.
It says UK only unfortunately. Same for MUTV.
Maybe search for a stream. Else should get highlights after?
Just seen Warren Joyce is Forest youth coach, didn’t know that.
Buzzing for this. Hopefully the lads get the job done. It would really stand to them now of all times with the first team in turmoil/major transition
I am in the US. If I cannot watch it live, hope to see the highlights.
Hope we get Garnacho to a long contract. Only a year left?
Expires next year but the usual United's contract clause will be a year's option. So really two more.
On FB!
The club has overhyped the game. I hope it doesn’t put too much pressure on the kids such that they fold.
I guess it’ll show which kids have the DNA to play for a top club. Future first team players will raise their game on nights like this imo
The need for negativity in any given situation on this forum sometimes makes me wonder what is going on in the world!!!
It’s a prestigious, for the level being played, Cup Final. Just enjoy it and be proud of what is going on tonight.
The club deserve (galls me to say it) a lot of credit for some of the work they have left done with the fans regarding tickets and atmosphere
It's a fantastic night and great occasion for all involved. A full Old Trafford for an U18 game.
Hopefully they enjoy it.
Hopefully they enjoy it.
Utterly ridiculous that a mainstream TV channel isn't showing this. There about 20 sports channels these days...
If anyone could send on a link where the match is on Facebook when it comes up I'd appreciate it.
I'll be looking for myself in any case, made a Facebook account yesterday just for this purpose.

You can watch it live on the FA Player, you need to sign up for an account.
There is a lot of confusion about his length of contract, but I really doubt that he only has a year left. He only signed his first professional contract last summer.
Cheers.
Perhaps Ronaldo can persuade the lad to stay.
Seriously I hope ten Hag can work with Ronaldo and he will be made captain.
Overhyped or not, it's an unbelievable achievement to have 75,000 people watching a youth game, and it does make me wonder how many millions of people will be watching globally now in part because of that. I've signed up to the stupid FA player website just to watch it tonight
. Just had a look on the United website out of interest as I'm off work today and was thinking about going spur of the moment, but there's literally not a ticket spare.is that just the app or can you do it online too?

I’ve got two!
I found this link on Facebook, but it seems like it's only for people UK based too. It's insane how hard it seems to find a decent link for this.
I think it's online and an app I presume once signed up you can use both there is an app on Apple app store.
